Dal risvolto di copertina interno

d, comical spirit of Peter Mayle and Bill Bryson, Derek Lambert discovers the charms and idiosyncrasies of Spain as he experiences the rewards and frustrations of beginning a new life there.

Journalist Derek Lambert spent his career as a foreign correspondent covering conflicts around the world while living at one time or another in England, the United States, Russia, Hong Kong, Canada, Ireland, Israel, and Gibraltar. When he decided to settle down to a simpler life as a novelist, he chose Spain, the land that has inspired writers from Cervantes to Hemingway and Michener. Lambert knew Spain was a sun-splashed country with a breathtaking landscape, robust food and wine, and people who have a remarkable zest for living. What he didn't realize when he and his wife and young son arrived in a vibrant village on Spain's Mediterranean Costa Blanca was that learning to live in Spain would prove to be an adventure almost as challenging and eye-opening as any of his journalistic assignments.
